'A community hub:' Take a look at the new Wawa location on Pooler Parkway
Amanda Beurle and her family moved to Pooler from the Philadelphia area in 2022, and the one thing they missed the most was Wawa. So, when she head that her beloved convenience store was coming to Pooler last year, it was like Christmas morning.
'We missed, one, the food,' Beurle said. 'But two, just having a Wawa, because it's more than just a convenience store, but it's hard to explain without experiencing it, but it's more or less like a community hub.'
More than a year ago, the Pennsylvania-based Wawa corporation expressed interest in opening a location in Pooler. The chain with a cult-like following finally held its grand opening Thursday morning, complete with a ribbon cutting and a hoagie-building competition.
